My colleagues have died.
|
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
Three, five? Maybe six.
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
The number doesn't matter anymore.
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
They were all killed by those wretched new technologies that won't stop springing up.
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
One lost their job and starved, one got their flesh taken apart. Others worked like cogs in the machine, treated like subhuman junk.
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
They were all diligent chums. I was thankful that they were good to a bloke like me.
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
...'Course, I never showed it.
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
I was one lucky bugger.
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
I at least didn't get swept up by rushing waves of technology and die.
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
I ran off and roamed the Backstreets like a thrown away umbrella until they took me in...
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
But I guess I didn't deserve 'em after all.
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
In the end, they'd all go away, like wet paper being torn away.
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
And the regret and shame I felt as I watched it all happen had my anger boiling.
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
Maybe, if technology didn't exist as they said...
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
I could've been laughing and fooling around at a Backstreets pub with chums that could've been alive.
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
So I decided to get as serious as I could be and ravage all I can this time for sure.
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
They work on science and technology to make life comfortable, but those things end up taking lives. It's why I started thinking that things like those shouldn't have existed in the first place.
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
Us survivors dug into the rotten remains of a fallen Wing that once stood at the top of technological progress, and put on what they called E.G.O. Products of technology we detested.
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
It's ridiculous to think that technology would have a mind, but it seems like this thing does. As soon as I wore this thing, cold and dark feelings rushed into my heart.
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
An endless swirl of gloom wrapped around me. But as it did, I got the feeling that maybe this thing was like me.
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
Maybe, just like I did in the past... this thing once had a friend, but got driven out and abandoned.
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
Thinking like that... Hah. It gave me motivation to fight.
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
It helped me take down all the crooks trying to protect their damned technology and drown it all so they'd never see the light of day again.
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
That's not gonna bring my colleagues back from the dead, of course.
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
At least I'll reduce the number of people that'll end up like us a fair bit.
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
But...
|
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
When I'm done, the chill reminds me that I'm alone.
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
I go back to wandering damp, dark alleys...
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
Now I can hardly sleep anywhere else.
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
Dammit, maybe this E.G.O thing will do me in one day, like how technology doomed all my mates.
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
What a farce that'd be.
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
...Whatever. Thinking more won't give me any answers.
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
Once I'm done with this job, I'll go back with pride...
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
Once the new world is made... I'll have another chance...
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
You leave now. Don't try and give me attention.
|
 Technology Liberation Alliance Heathcliff
|
I have no friends left now.
